The units of the fund will commence trading on an ex distribution basis at

be posted for trading on a when-issued basis, under the following trading
information:

Symbol: VIP.WT.A
Cusip No.: 11221R 12 6
Trading currency: Canadian
Designated market maker: Hampton Securities Ltd.
Other markets: None

Additional information on the warrant offering may be found in the fund's
short-form prospectus dated Nov. 4, 2009, which is available at SEDAR.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined are as defined in the
prospectus.

The fund uses the book-entry only system administered by CDS Clearing and
Depository Services Inc. with respect to units and warrants. The fund may
also use the non-certificated issue system or another system administered
by CDS.

A holder of warrants may subscribe for a whole number of units by
instructing the CDS participant holding the subscriber's warrants to
exercise all or a specified number of such warrants and forwarding the
subscription price for each unit subscribed for in accordance with the
terms of the offering and the warrant indenture to the CDS participant
which holds the subscriber's warrants. The subscription price is payable in
Canadian funds by certified cheque, bank draft or money order drawn to the
order of a CDS participant, by direct debit from the subscriber's brokerage
account or, by electronic funds transfer or other similar payment
mechanism. All payments must be forwarded to the appropriate office of the
CDS participant. The entire subscription price for units subscribed for
must be paid at the time of subscription and must be received by the
warrant agent prior to the date of the exercise of the warrants.

Each holder of warrants that subscribes for units to which such holder is
entitled pursuant to the basic subscription privilege may, at any time
during the exercise period, subscribe for additional units pursuant to the
additional subscription privilege, if applicable, at a price equal to the
subscription price for each additional unit. Holders of warrants will not
be required to fully exercise all of their warrants under the basic
subscription privilege in order to be eligible for the additional
subscription privilege. To apply for additional units under the additional
subscription privilege, a beneficial holder of warrants must forward their
request to a CDS participant. Payment for additional units, in the same
manner as for units, must accompany the request when it is delivered to the
CDS participant. Any excess funds will be returned by mail or credited to a
subscriber's account with its CDS participant, without interest or
deduction. Payment in full of the subscription price must be received by
the warrant agent prior to 5 p.m. (Toronto time) on the expiry date,
failing which the subscriber's entitlement to such units will terminate.
Accordingly, the subscriber must deliver payment and instructions
sufficiently in advance of the expiry date to allow the CDS participant to
properly exercise warrants on such subscriber's behalf and apply for
additional units under the additional subscription privilege, as
applicable.

The units are not registered under the 1933 Act. The offering is made in
Canada and not in the United States. The offering is not, and under no
circumstances is to be construed as, an offering of any units for sale in
the United States or an offering to or for the account or benefit of any
U.S. person or a solicitation therein of an offer to buy any securities.
Accordingly, no subscriptions will be accepted from any person, or their
agent, who appears to be, or who the fund has reason to believe is,
resident in the United States.

It is expected that the CDS participant will, prior to the expiry date,
attempt to sell for the United States unitholders the warrants allotable to
such United States unitholders at the price or prices it determines in its
discretion. Any proceeds received by the CDS participant with respect to
such warrants are expected to be delivered by the CDS participant as soon
as practicable to such United States unitholders.

Unitholders whose recorded addresses are outside of Canada, other than the
United States unitholders, will be permitted to subscribe for units
pursuant to the terms of the offering or, if they do not wish to exercise
any of their warrants to subscribe for units, will be permitted to sell or
otherwise transfer their warrants through a CDS participant provided that
they represent to the fund that the receipt by them of warrants and the
issuance to them of units upon the exercise of the warrants will not be in
violation of the laws of their jurisdiction of residence.

The warrants will be governed by the terms of a warrant indenture to be
entered into on or about Nov. 16, 2009, between the fund and Computershare
Trust Company of Canada, as warrant agent. The warrant indenture provides
for appropriate adjustments to the warrants in the event of stock
dividends, subdivisions, consolidations and other forms of capital
reorganization.
